if thou
hadst wiped a lookingglass, and thou shalt know that his rust
hath not been altogether wiped away.

Sir 12:12
Set him not by thee, lest, when he hath overthrown thee, he
stand up in thy place; neither let him sit at thy right hand,
lest he seek to take thy seat, and thou at the last remember my
words, and be pricked therewith.

Sir 12:13
Who will pity a charmer that is bitten with a serpent, or any
such as come nigh wild beasts?

Sir 12:14
So one that goeth to a sinner, and is defiled with him in his
sins, who will pity?

Sir 12:15
For a while he will abide with thee, but if thou begin to
fall, he will not tarry.

Sir 12:16
An enemy speaketh sweetly with his lips, but in his heart he
imagineth how to throw thee into a pit: he will weep with his
eyes, but if he find opportunity, he will not be satisfied with
blood.

Sir 12:17
If adversity come upon thee, thou shalt find him there first;
and though he pretend to help thee, yet shall he undermine thee.

Burden not thyself above thy power while thou livest; and

The rich man hath done wrong, and yet he threateneth withal:
the poor is wronged, and he must intreat also.

make thee bare, and will not be sorry for it.

Sir 13:6
If he have need of thee, he will deceive thee, and smile upon
thee, and put thee in hope; he will speak thee fair, and say,
What wantest thou?

Sir 13:7
And he will shame thee by his meats, until he have drawn thee
dry twice or thrice, and at the last he will laugh thee to scorn

his head at thee.

Sir 13:8
Beware that thou be not deceived and brought down in thy
